"What are the winning number sequences for the next ten Mega Millions lotteries in my state and in order?" I would then use the first set of numbers myself and work out a deal where I would get a percentage of the following nine from people to whom I would give the winning number sequence.

the question wasn't if you would ask the god who wrote the bible a question. it was if you were confronted by the most advanced and knowledgeable being in the universe. this being also afforded you the question, and i'm not sure i would choose to be rude to the most advanced being in the universe.

I think this post, while funny, shows a need for some "clarification." Technically the premise of the thread says: existence and not the universe (they are not necessarily the same). And while the OP posits that this being will not answer one way or another that it is "God" that may or may not actually be the case (it might be God and not want to tell you; it might not be "God" and just not understand the question since it makes no sense to it), that does not mean that it could not be "God."

How one conceives of "most advanced being in existence" is ultimately up to the responder; I am purely interested in seeing how people would question such a being.

Hey MTF...
Your initial post has a lot of qualification to it.
Confrontation by the most advanced and knowledgeable being in existence, and only one question allowed.

However, the scenario could actually happen.

Given the severe situation, I would ask...Are you my Lord?

This question puts the effective response to the "most advanced and knowledgeable". His response would then be the one that counts.... and rightfully so.

Allow me to expound on the situation.
There are five attributes that put you at the disadvantage.
Bigger, faster, stronger, more intelligent, and greatly experienced.
These attributes are implied by the scenario at hand.

You can't move Him. He's bigger than you. You can't run. You can't resist. Your discussion would be shallow compared to His, and He won't be impressed by the works of your hand.

By asking if He is my Lord....the opportunity arises that I might be allowed to follow.
This would be a good thing.
There's no place safer.
But He would need be tolerant, of my following.

Response: How come there are no "B" batteries? They make "A" batteries, "C" batteries, and "D" batteries. Why did they skip the letter "B"?

They didn't. When battery sizes were standardized, there was a size B. It's just that nobody uses them anymore. They were rectangular in shape with both contacts on the top, like a modern 9-volt battery.

I'm eating a hot dog even as I type this.
Apparently someone caught on, and the quantities now match.
